NATURE IN THE GLASS ‘On the Breezy Side’
Creating a layout with refreshing feeling
Themed Interior Aquarium
W60cm aquarium tanks are reasonable size for creating layouts. On the other hand, if much aquatic plants are planted, it fills up the space and becomes rather overwhelming. To avoid such a situation, it is important to create a composition with a large space in the beginning and to choose low maintenance aquatic plants. The point for keeping a large space is to reduce overwhelming feeling visually and to provide a plenty of space for fish to swim freely. Also by reducing amount of planted aquatic plants, it becomes effective to reduce labor for the maintenance. For aquascape as an interior, the key point is low maintenance.

A point for planting
Both Hygrophila pinnatifida sp. ‘Uttarakannada’ and Eleocharis vivipara are easy to grow and low maintenance aquatic plants. Trimming makes it easy to shape them as you like. Plant these aquatic plants in a way to keep a beautiful scenery even after trimming.

A selection of fish
Rasbora dorsiocellata macrophthalma have a refreshing impression as if the breeze wafted them, and they were flying around in the sky. Also charming Dario dario peeking out between aquatic plants add a soothing feel.
